Jobs in Croxton

Do you want to be a valued part of the critical infrastructure that serves communities across Europe and beyond? Are you looking for a position in which you can set direction and help shape our company? If so, then you could be the newest addition to our team as a QSHE Advisor.

Be part of the movement - and play your part.   

About the role  

Working Monday to Friday, you’ll take a key role in supporting and developing the site’s Quality, Safety, Health & Environmental (QSHE) standards. You’ll provide hands on support across the operation, helping the business meet legal, customer and internal compliance requirements.

You will be responsible for:

Leading and supporting the development, implementation and maintenance of QSHE policies, procedures and management systems

Conducting risk assessments, writing Safe Systems of Work (SSOW), and ensuring appropriate controls are in place

Investigating accidents, incidents and near misses, analysing data and supporting improvement plans

Performing internal safety, quality and HACCP related audits and supporting external audit activity

Supporting compliance with food safety, BRCGS requirements, and wider legislative obligations

Maintaining the Business Continuity Plan and contributing to PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) activity

Promoting and embedding a strong Health & Safety culture across operational teams

About you 

You’ll ideally bring experience in QSHE or a similar safety focused role, with confidence in areas such as risk assessments, accident investigation and safety‑system development. Experience with H&S reporting systems and strong Microsoft Office skills are essential. IOSH Managing Safely is required, and a NEBOSH General Certificate is preferred but not essential.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re self-motivated, professional, and passionate about improving safety culture. You’ll be able to influence others at all levels, communicate clearly, and remain calm and methodical when dealing with compliance challenges. A proactive approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to coach, support and guide operational teams will set you up for success.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
